52nd annual Membership Exhibit during the “Celebration of Art” event on March 24.
“PICK YOUR CANVAS” is this year’s exhibit theme and allowed artists the choice of four different canvas styles to work on in any permanent or mixed medium. The styles include: 10” x 10” wood cradle panel, 12” x 12” canvas, 6” x 12” canvas, or two 6”x 6” canvases and were provided by the FAA.
Four “Outstanding Art Works” were selected from twenty eight participating artists by the judge David Kraemer.
Those receiving the honors were (right side of easel r to l)

and kneeling John Preston for “Jar Full of June”.
